The oddest thing happened tonight.
I was sitting at a traffic light
windows rolled down
waiting for the green.
I hear this guy in the next car over.
This is what he's saying:
Hey!
Hi!
How you doing?
What's going on?
And I'm tuning him out.
Not even turning his way.
I figure he's on the phone with someone,
but I didn't turn to look.
Right about then
the light turns green
and I pull forward.
As he's pulling forward,
he yells,
"I love you!"
and I finally turn to look at him
and I realize that,
all this time,
he's been talking to me.
He yells,
"I fucking love you!"
and drives off.
I laughed the whole way home.
It was hilarious.
I've never seen that guy before.
I'll probably never see him again.
Sure was funny, though. (:
